# Managing PingGateway sessions

Learn about PingGateway sessions in [PingGateway sessions](../about/about-sessions.html).

Change PingGateway session configurations using the `"session"` in the [AdminHttpApplication (`admin.json`)](../reference/AdminHttpApplication.html) for administrative requests and the [GatewayHttpApplication (`config.json` )](../reference/GatewayHttpApplication.html) or individual [Route](../reference/Route.html) for other requests:

* Change the default stateful session settings by configuring an [InMemorySessionManager](../reference/InMemorySessionManager.html).

* Switch to stateless sessions by configuring a [JwtSessionManager](../reference/JwtSessionManager.html).
